Question

I need the results from recognizer to be a string.. when i use this code i get eclipse error ‘cannot convert Array as string..

code: final ArrayList<String> results2 = data.getStringArrayListExtra    (RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);

also tried, with no luck:

final String results2 = data.getStringArrayListExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);

still says error..

Is this enough info?? Thank you in advance.

NEW: I added this code, but i want a .get that will store this word/text in acceptable manner for a cursor usage:

String[] matches = data.getStringArrayExtra(SpeechRecognizer.RESULTS_RECOGNITION);

Eclipse does not error , but my result is coming out as ‘null’ so i just need a .Get that works in my scenario?? Than kyou all for helping also!

Answer 1

you code should work fine. See this snippet:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    Intent i = getIntent();
    final ArrayList<String> stringArrayListExtra = i.getStringArrayListExtra("hello");
}

What you can look is:

• check for your java version. Do you have java 1.5 (or higher but I am not very confortable with 1.7 yet) configured. The reason this that generics are added in 1.5.
• Try cleaning and rebuilding your project by choosing Project > Clean.

I can’t see any other

Edit: Since there is not enough code to look into, you can yourself look into speech sample here

If look there:

/**
 * Handle the results from the recognition activity.
 */
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == VOICE_RECOGNITION_REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        // Fill the list view with the strings the recognizer thought it could have heard
        ArrayList<String> matches = data.getStringArrayListExtra(
                RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);
        mList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
                matches));
    }

    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

They are using RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS. Try this sample if it resolves your issue. As now your issue is different then what i look initially.
